For six (6) days, the City of Arts is the stage for the biggest creativity meeting in Latin America. We become a home, a bar, an office, a restaurant, we become a connection, a center, a concentration, an immersion. And the main meeting point for these creative minds is the Rio2C Stage.
After an immersion in keynote sessions, business deals, meetings, talks and experiences, attendees are eager for entertainment and networking.
Every day the major labels and aggregators celebrate Brazilian creativity at happy hours with their music acts and bring a line-up curated by different Brazilian music scenes.
The Rio2C Stage will also host the PitchingShow during the week.
